    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker and Julius Randle are among the high school stars expected to compete in the Jordan Brand Classic April 13 at the Barclays Center.

    Tickets go on sale today (Friday) at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster.

    The 6-foot-8 Parker recently pledged to Duke, while the 6-8 Wiggins and the 6-9 Randle remain uncommitted and will sign during the NCAA late signing period beginning April 17.

    Wiggins is considering Kentucky, Florida State, Kansas and North Carolina, while Randle is down to Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, N.C. State, Oklahoma and Texas.

    The Jordan Brand Classic is part of a tripleheader with the International Game at 3:30 p.m., the City vs. Suburbs Regional Game at 5:30 p.m. and the National Game at 8 p.m. on ESPN2.

    LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose, Amar’e Stoudemire, Kyrie Irving and Dwight Howard all played their final high school game in the Jordan Brand Classic.

    The game is returning to New York for the first time since 2010, when it was last played at Madison Square Garden.
